I just think it'd be humorous to see the article where this gun-toting guard shoots somebody for taking a shovelful of sand. I mean, we make jokes about people fighting over dirt all the time, but to see that play out literally would be... well, I don't know what it would be.

Yeah, now that they have solved the drug cartel problem, the rampant poverty and food/water shortages, their heathcare issues, bad economy and so forth they can concentrate on the thing that really matters. Sand.

This is going on all over the place along the west coast of the US. Breakwaters that were installed 60 or 70 years ago have been building artificial sandbanks. However, now that the sand reserves that built those banks has been depleted, those artificial banks are disappearing.

Ocean Shores, WA is an example of this. Much of the peninsula didn't exist 100 years ago. Now they're in deep shiat because the currents are taking it all back. Never mind that there are now tens of millions of dollars of property on this overly glorified sand dune.

Its about enforcing the law? What an interesting choice of words... Mexico has all these problems with drug lords and corruption in government... and they really want to drive out tourists that is the only genuine income flowing into the country? Great plan.
